Sweet look for sure.

15x8 it is...the 17's are 5 lug...tein ss coilovers....(drive2)

Do the bronze Mahk. They're pretty on red. I'll have a pic of my stockers in bronze hopefully in a few hours.

 

[Astral]

bronze 17 949s would be dope. for me, 17x9 48mm with 255 width tires...

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah, they'll work for you Oleg, but no 4 lug pattern for Mark...

Highly limited on tire size for 17" wheels that don't rub the inside.

 

[bazooka joe]

so what nice fat/agressive tire for the 15x8??? thoughts?

 

[Astral]

put some 225s on there... sounds like you can go 245/35/16... not sure what that will do to the gearing though... and may bend easier. I would look at Goodwin Racing's tire & wheel packages to see what are some of the popular sizes. http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Parts/Miata/Wheels-Tires.html

Oh man. I was just looking for tires recently for that size because I thought I was going to buy some 6ULs. I was looking at the Hankook Ventus RS-3's in 225/45/15.

 

[bazooka joe]

phen, so can i run the 225/45/15 on the 15x8 6ul with just lowering springs?

 

[THE Phen]

Yessir.

[Reitrof]

Congrats Mark, when do you plan to put the MSM on the road?

 

[slug420]

Jeez....I guess child labor isn't what it used to be? jk Wow....why so long? I never knew of a backlog for those.

15s mark???? FIFTEENS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much better tire selection for the MSM vs the 17" tire sizes.

i guess they don't make that many at a time...40, this round, thats all!

my 929 racing 6ul's won't be here until the last week in may...

so i cancelled the order...first off they may not come in to a lot later, mays the best est. secondly, i can't fin but two sets of tires for it and one i'm not real keen on and the other is like $169 a tire...no way...so the search continues...

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah, that's definitely the downside of the 15x8's. You have to know exactly what tire you want to run, and be prepared to spend some mad loot for them. They work so much better if you're gonna run R-comps on them.
